Chapter 100 Chen Guodong's Abnormality
In front of the daily chemical counter of China World Mall, there were many customers who were informed in advance that there would be new products to try today.
Shen Lingning took a deep breath, put on his most respectable blue cloth smock, combed his hair meticulously, and walked onto the makeshift small platform.
On the counter behind her were packaged tea seed soap, osmanthus soap, and mint soap.
This was because her godmother used her connections to help her get an opportunity to negotiate with the International Trade Sales Department. Originally, the other party wanted to accept the soap and place an order directly just for Wang Xiulan's sake, but Shen Lingning refused.
She wanted the other party to place an order based on the quality of the product, not her godmother's face.
Such connections can only be used once, and she can't ask her godmother to help her every time.
So, she asked the other party to rent the counter to her for an hour to display and explain the products.
At first, the people below looked at this overly young girl with curiosity and a bit of suspicion in their eyes.
Shen Lingning was not stage frightened. She picked up a piece of original tea seed soap and spoke in a clear and soft voice.
But it was enough for everyone to hear clearly: "Comrades, hello. My name is Shen Lingning, from Songtaogou Base.
What I brought today is not foreign goods produced by large factories, but handmade soaps made by our family members at the base, using tea seeds and wild flowers from the mountains.
She began to explain the moisturizing effect of tea seed oil, the detergency of natural soap beans, and the benefits of using flowers and plants in soap. She did not exaggerate, but only talked about the real effects and the natural thoughtfulness.
She even invited an older sister who was watching to come up and try it out. She wet it with clean water, rubbed it into fine foam, and then washed it off to show off the refreshing and moisturizing feeling.
"I wouldn't say our soap is magical, but it's natural, safe, and easy to use. Those with children or sensitive skin at home all say it's great."
Her words were simple and sincere, with a convincing power.
The older woman who tried it said in surprise, "Hey! It's really good! It's not tight at all and it's very smooth!"
The people watching in the audience began to be tempted.
Especially when Shen Lingning took out the osmanthus soap and mint soap, the elegant fragrance spread, attracting even more people.
"How much is it?"
"Give me two to try!"
"I want the one with osmanthus scent!"
The scene gradually became lively, from watching to rushing to buy.
The dozens of trial soaps prepared at the counter were quickly sold out.
The manager of China World Mall witnessed the entire process and was convinced that the quality and popularity of the product far exceeded expectations.
He immediately made the decision and signed a supply contract with Shen Lingning for 300 yuan per month! In consideration of Wang Xiulan's face and the booming sales, he even made an exception and prepaid a portion of the deposit!
He even pulled Shen Lingning to ask about the marketing concept of promoting products on site and this service method, and asked her to teach it to the salesperson.
I also plan to set aside a counter to sell Shen Lingning’s tea seed soap.
Shen Lingning also took the opportunity to share her ideas and plans for a series of products for the tea mountain with the manager of the trade mall. Unexpectedly, the manager was very forward-looking and did not reject Shen Lingning's ideas at all.
They communicated together for an afternoon, signed an order for the next six months, and paid half of the deposit in advance in order to win over Shen Lingning.
Shen Lingning held the heavy contract and deposit, his palms sweating slightly.
Success!
Step one, it’s finally sold!
Winning the order from the First Department Store was a milestone victory! Shen Lingning was thrilled. She immediately called Songtaogou and asked Aunt Sun and the others to organize manpower, speed up the production of the second batch of soap, and ship it to Chang'an by military train.
Wang Xiulan was even happier than her, her eyes moistened: "Oh, you really make your godmother love you so much. You are good-looking, have a good temperament, and are so thoughtful and capable."
To celebrate, she asked Zhao Xiangdong to take a day off the next day, and took Shen Lingning and Fubao, and called Shen Yuchuan who happened to be on vacation, to go boating in Labor Park together.
The sun is shining brightly and the lake is sparkling.
Shen Lingning sat at the bow holding Fubao, looking at the lush trees on both sides of the river and the people laughing and talking happily. He felt more relaxed and happy than he had in the past six months.
Zhao Xiangdong and Shen Yuchuan took turns rowing the boat, and the two tall men became a beautiful sight.
However, they didn't notice that under the shade of the trees on the shore, a figure wearing a baseball cap appeared again, looking at the small boats on the lake from afar, especially Shen Yuchuan on the boat, with a sinister look in his eyes.
He picked up a small telescope, looked carefully for a while, and then quietly retreated into the crowd.
In the evening, in the Zhao family study, Zhao Changhe brewed two cups of tea and passed one to Shen Yuchuan across from him. Under the dim desk lamp, the atmosphere seemed somewhat solemn.
"Yuchuan, there are no outsiders here. Your mission this time must be quite difficult, right?"
Zhao Changhe spoke slowly, his eyes sharp as torches.
He had already recognized that Shen Yuchuan was the "special person" who was seriously injured and secretly sent to the military hospital for emergency treatment a few months ago.
The situation was critical at the time. He signed the agreement personally and mobilized the best medical resources to bring the patient back from the brink of death.
It was during that encounter that he learned that Shen Yuchuan, while nominally an assistant professor at National Tsing Hua University, was actually involved in an extremely important arms research and development project. He was injured because of a problem with the project's confidentiality, resulting in a backstabbing.
Shen Yuchuan nodded and did not hide anything from Zhao Changhe: "Uncle Zhao, thank you for saving my life last time. I came back this time because the project has entered a critical stage and needs to be tested with the military region.
Secondly, I have some clues about the last incident, and I need to clean up the mess."
His tone was calm, but it carried a hint of cold murderous intent.
Zhao Changhe said seriously, "How do you need my cooperation?"
"There's no need to alert too many people for now. The enemy is hiding very deeply. I showed up this time to lure them out of their hole."
Shen Yuchuan said, "It's just... Ling Ning and the others came here so suddenly, I'm afraid they will be put in danger."
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment. "Don't worry about Lingning. No one in my compound dares to touch my goddaughter. But you, please be careful."
He paused and sighed, "As for your parents, I've already arranged for someone to pick them up from the farm and temporarily place them in a reliable village in the suburbs. They're safe, so you can rest assured."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Shen Yuchuan's eyes: "Uncle Zhao, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."
"It's too formal to say that. Your father helped me back then. Besides, what you're doing now is for the country."
Zhao Changhe waved his hand. "As for Lingning, she's a good kid, self-reliant and independent, unlike her father... Oh, what a pity. Don't worry, as long as I'm around, no one will be able to bully her."
At the same time, in a dark room somewhere, the man wearing a baseball cap during the day - Chen Guodong, was whispering a message into an old radio.
